Monserrate Sanctuary

Are you physically and mentally exhausted? Do you need to switch off? Welcome to the place to do it!

For pilgrimage.

Take the opportunity to come here when you want to escape. If possible, don't miss out on the cable car ride up the hill where it is located. On the way, try to keep in mind the view that you are leaving behind. Once you are up there, you can admire the awesome image of the city from three thousand, one hundred fifty metres above it. The impact makes it worth the effort. Behind you, you will see the Sanctuary. This colonial-style church was erected in 1925 replacing the original hermitage. In spite of this, it remains a pilgrimage site for thousands of people. There are two mandatory parts of the tour. The first is the 16th century carving of the Fallen Lord inside the building. The second is to speak with any neighbour you find and ask them to tell you one of the place's many legends.
